Becker, VE 1980: Nitrogen fixing lichens in forests of the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. - The Bryologist83: 29-39. [RLL List # 106-5 / Rec.# 1653] Keywords: NITROGEN FIXATION/ APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS/ LOBARIA/ PHYCOBIONT/ PRODUCTION/ BIOMASS/ NORTH CAROLINA
Abstract: 6 tables. 2 figures. ["The bark of Aesculus octandra Marshal was the optimum habitat, particularly for the dominants Lobaria quercizans Michx. and Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. Lichen biomass in the gray beech forest commonly ranged from 7 to 9 kg ha-1 but was higher where Aesculus octandra was abundant. The annual contribution of ammonia nitrogen by lichens was roughly estimated to be 0.8 kg ha-1 for the gray beech forest in beech gaps." Several other lichens are mentioned.]
